A Song of Ice & Fire by George R.R. Martin: Book Discussion Thread

[Box Cutta]

I pointed to the fact that Dany wasn't nude is season 2 because the quote said that it was someone who was nude a lot during the first couple of seasons.

Emilia has also been nude on stage...live in front of a big audience. I just don't think she has an issue with it. Of course, as I said, Shae did porn and Ros is essentially a high class stripper....

Trying to figure this out is like trying to guess who was Wendy Williams gay rapper....

I wonder if Daario gets into them guts this season....if he does, we're about to find out if Emilia has a no nudity clause.

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

was a holiday here in canada and I figured there was no episode


actually more than a few thought there was a break

With 3 eps left I'm ready to go ahead and rank the seasons 4,1,3,2
Only thing dragon() this season down is Dany's storyline. Everyone seems to have stepped their acting game up.

I think this last ep just jumped to #1. Tyrion's dungeon scenes with Bronn and Oberyn were amazing. The scenes with Arya & the Hound were as well. I'm loving Thorne and Slynt the shyt out of Jon Snow. Even the convo between Selyse and Melisandre was on point. Again, the only weak link was Dany.

Was reading a thread on Reddit about AFFC/ADWD and it reminded me I needed to drop my monthly appreciation post for A Feast For Crows.

I really think that when this series is done it is going to be looked at as the best written book out of the first 5. No, it is not a plot monster like Storm of Swords or like Winds of Winder is going to be, but it is amazing nonetheless. If the series was supposed to be a non-stop freight train it would have been kept as a trilogy. The world building and politics are just as entertaining for me.

Still having a tough time reconciling ADWD though....cutting out the Battle for Meereen and Battle for Winterfell was a huge mistake.

EDIT: I think after this season ends I'm going to do a combined re-read using this pdf which has combined the two books into the correct order:

Props. I'm going to check this out when I get home.

I'd rep you if I could

Thinking of copping the Dangerous Women anthology just to get the Dance of Dragons story by Martin. Is that story worth getting the entire thing on Kindle or does anybody know where I can just get that one story by itself?

I have been randomly watching episodes from seasons past on my DVR and its extremely noticeable how much better everything is, from the acting to the costumes to the makeup to the filming. And we still haven't gotten to the point that they have been building to yet.

I didn't really like the Princess and the Queen, I couldn't finish it. Too many similar names and characters and I couldn't follow it. Lots of people like it though. I can't find my file, maybe someone else here has it

[KiD WavE]

just read that last cersei chapter of Feast ...


this bytch is so fukked

I didnt expect that at all honestly I knew she was making mistakes but that was


still gotta read the end of Feast and start dance but I had to post

 

[Objection]

Didn't really care for the show insinuating that Shireen may be used as a sacrifice. Like Stannis would kill family to get the throne

Just had a thought brehs

Episode 10 is called "The Children"

This obviously could have multiple meanings. The two obvious ones are the Children of the Forest and the locking up of Dany's dragons

But what if we get some season 5 setups too? Maybe our first glimpse at Elia's 'children' Aegon Targaryen

I know its wishful thinking. But damn, they need to have Aegon attacking Westeros by the end of Season 5 so why not introduce him now? Its a perfect time with Oberyn's death fresh on our minds, it builds super hype for next season, and it helps the Targaryen loving show watchers breathe easier with Dany still stuck up in Meereen.

It would be pretty damn hard to keep the casting a secret though so I'm not holding my breath.

that's some EXTREMELY wishful thinking breh, i still think the only storylines that are gonna be 6th book status next season are Bran and....shyt i dont even know now that i think about it they've got a lot of material to cover, Cersei's breakdown, tyrion's journey, the tail end of dany's POV might touch some of the 6th book stuff, Arya has her FM stuff to cover, the Greyjoys, Dorne, Jon and Stannis both have their shyt to cover as well, i can't imagine them jumping from Aegon showing up and him attack westeros in one season breh


Bran is the only one that's definitely gonna be book 6 material
but i have a nagging suspicion we may start getting rickon POV's dont ask me why tho

Aegon going to Westeros is book 5 stuff though. He takes Griffins Roost before the book ends.

He has to be there before Dany goes too.

He does nothing in this story but ride on a boat then attack Westeros
